One can be motivated to cooperation and generosity without setting up a controlling committee over people's lives and property...How about today?
Look around your church.

They loved greatly, sadly this love did not last, I have no doubt that the basic selfishness of man spiled it and the jelousy of outsiders helpped to end it.
If it always doesn't, there's still no excuse for arbitrary, controlling committees...That's true.
But would it work that way?

Yes, there needs to be personal respect and Godly boundaries.AMEN...that is the only way...or it will die very quickly on the Vine...
- been there seen that,...
Got a bit side tracked here...but I say IF you can do it without man killing and draining the life out of it ..go for it... but forget rules ....
- Organizing , telling people what to do, and rules for people lives removes the heart and love ...and things turn bitter.
